Elvis Costello - Clowntime Is Over lyrics

Tears on your blackmail Written to ransom A point of the fingernail Says that he's handsome Clowntime is over Time to take cover While others just talk and talk Somebody's watching where the others don't walk Clowntime is over A voice in the shadows Says that his men know He don't step back as expected He's otherwise and unprotected Chorus Almost too good to be true Who do you? why do you? what do you do? While everybody's hiding under covers Who's making lover's lane safe again for lovers? Chorus
